mcp-server-canyougrab 1.0.1

MCP server for confidence-scored domain availability checking via CanYouGrab.it

CanYouGrab.it MCP Server

Confidence-scored domain availability checking for AI agents. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client.

Unlike other domain checkers that return binary yes/no, CanYouGrab.it tells you how confident the result is — so your AI agent can make smarter decisions.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (~/.claude/.mcp.json or Claude Desktop settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "canyougrab": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-canyougrab"],
      "env": {
        "CANYOUGRAB_API_KEY": "cyg_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code / Cursor

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "canyougrab": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-canyougrab"],
      "env": {
        "CANYOUGRAB_API_KEY": "cyg_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

check_domains

Check availability of up to 100 domains per request. Each result includes:

• available: true (registrable), false (taken), or null (couldn't determine)
• confidence: high / medium / low
• source: dns / whois / cache
• checked_at: When the data was gathered
• cache_age_seconds: How fresh the data is
• registration: Registrar, creation date, expiry date (for taken domains)

Confidence Levels

Level	Meaning
high	Verified by DNS + WHOIS, or fresh DNS with active nameservers
medium	DNS only — WHOIS was unavailable or timed out
low	DNS failure, timeout, or stale cached data

Example

User: "Check if coolstartup.com and coolstartup.io are available"

→ check_domains(["coolstartup.com", "coolstartup.io"])

{
  "results": [
    {
      "domain": "coolstartup.com",
      "available": false,
      "confidence": "high",
      "source": "dns",
      "registration": null
    },
    {
      "domain": "coolstartup.io",
      "available": true,
      "confidence": "high",
      "source": "whois",
      "registration": null
    }
  ]
}
